Old Town Lafayette loses power along Public Road a few times a year, usually with a spring dump of wet snow or a summer windstorm rolling off the foothills. Xcel Energy gets crews out fast, but homeowners near US-287 and out toward Coal Creek don't want to sit in the dark waiting. That's when generator installation Lafayette starts climbing in search, and it climbs fast once the lights flicker.
This is a different search than emergency electrician Lafayette. Someone typing that is already in trouble. Someone typing generator installation Lafayette is planning ahead, comparing whole-house units to portable backup, and trying to figure out cost before the next outage hits. Your generator page needs to speak to that planner, not just the panic search.

Search intent: planning ahead, not panicking
People searching generator installation Lafayette or standby generator Lafayette are usually doing research. They want to know what a whole-house unit costs versus a portable, how loud it runs, and whether it ties into the existing panel. That's a different page than emergency power. If you already have an emergency page, this one should sit next to it, not repeat it. See how we split that on the emergency electrician page.
Google Business Profile angles for generator work
Photos of a completed standby install, the transfer switch, the concrete pad — that's what builds trust on a profile. Posts ahead of forecasted storms can help too, but the profile should carry generator content year-round, not just before a windstorm. We keep your profile active and answer the setup questions Google shows searchers. More on that on the Google Business Profile page.
A website page built for this search
Your site needs a page that answers the real questions: whole-house versus portable, fuel type, install timeline, and whether a panel upgrade comes first. A lot of standby jobs do need panel work — if that's common for your crews, that page should link over to panel upgrades so the two support each other instead of competing.
Videos that explain the install, not the wiring
Casey writes and produces a short video walking through what a standby generator install includes — the unit, the pad, the transfer switch, the timeline. Homeowners want to see the finished setup and understand the process, not a wiring lesson. You don't film anything and you don't need to be on camera. We build the video from what you send us and put it on your page and your GBP listing.

We install generators and also do EV charger work. Should those be separate pages?
Yes. Different searches, different buyers. Keep generator installation separate from the EV charger page so each one answers its own question clearly.
Should our GBP posts mention Xcel Energy outages, or is that too specific?
Naming Xcel Energy is fine when it's true and relevant, like referencing outage patterns homeowners already know about. Keep it factual and not tied to a single storm event.
How is a generator install page different from our panel upgrade page if the jobs overlap?
The panel upgrade page should focus on capacity and code issues. The generator page should focus on backup power planning. Link them together, but keep the main topic of each page distinct.
Does our service area need to call out Lafayette specifically, or just East Boulder County?
Name Lafayette directly since that's what people type. You can mention the wider county area too, but the city name should carry the page.
